I've always liked Stealth Ace since I first drew him on Christmas 2012. He's one of the few characters I've drawn multiple times. Most of the pieces I make are one-off things after all. So, as a special event I am releasing several new Stealth Ace pieces.

Mini Stealth Ace is an attempt to render Stealth Ace in a different style. I was mostly aiming for compact so the first thing was to throw away the outlines. Then I had to thin the eye quite a bit to fit it in here. Going small I didn't want to go all the way down to pixel art though. On that note...

Stealth Ace Pixel is a small sprite sheet for a theoretical Stealth Ace game. I don't really plan to make one, but maybe. I would probably need to add more animations if I did. The rows are Alternate Boxes(Green, Cardboard, Christmas, Shoe Box, Plaid and Metal), Reveal, Hide, Hop and a sort of vague Action. As a throwback I included both the original Stealth Ace and the not-Nike box from Stealth Spring.

Stealthing in the Dark is more an art piece than anything. Would you be willing to accept that this was someone peeking out of a box were it not part of the rest of the Stealth Ace Collection.

Finally after those minor spin-offs Stealth Ace 4 is the sequel to Business of Acing Stealth. After completing his corporate espionage work he simple dropped himself off in the mail room. Unfortunately the plane he was being air-mailed on ended up having a malfunction and dropping its packages in midair.

For anyone who isn't familiar with Stealth Ace here are all the Stealth Ace pieces in reverse publication order, though I actually referenced them all as we went through the post besides the Green one.
